Sony Pictures,which owns thefilm rightsto Spider-Man, began work on an expanded universe usingsupporting characters from theSpider-Manfilmsby December 2013. The studio planned to useThe Amazing Spider-Man 2(2014) to launch severalspin-offfilms focused onSpider-Man villainsfrom the comics, including aVenomfilm. After the relative critical and financial disappointment ofThe Amazing Spider-Man 2,these plans were abandoned and in February 2015, Sony announced a deal to collaborate withMarvel Studioson futureSpider-Manfilms and integrate the character into theMarvel Cinematic Universe(MCU). This relationship producedSpider-Man: Homecoming(2017),Spider-Man: Far From Home(2019), andSpider-Man: No Way Home(2021), while Sony separately re-developedVenom(2018) as a stand-alone film with its ownfictional universe.Sony and Marvel Studios renegotiated their deal in 2019 to share the Spider-Man character between the MCU and their standalone Marvel-based films.
Venomwas followed byVenom: Let There Be Carnage(2021) andMorbius(2022), both of which havemid-credits scenesthat feature elements from themultiverseconcept to link the SSU with the MCU, while Sony's animatedSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse(2023) is also connected to the SSU. These were followed byMadame WebandVenom: The Last Dancein 2024, which both feature additional characters related to Spider-Man in the comics. Most films from the SSU have been received poorly;Venom,Morbius,andMadame Webreceived negative reviews from critics, whileVenom: Let There Be CarnageandVenom: The Last Dancereceived mixed reviews. The franchise has grossed over $2 billion worldwide, althoughMorbiusandMadame Webwerecommercial failures.
The next film in the franchise isKraven the Hunter,scheduled to be released later in 2024, while Sony has several more live-action films based on Marvel characters in various stages of development.Sony Pictures Televisionis also developing several live-action television series set in the same shared universe, includingSpider-Noir.
Name
editSony officially announced their new shared universe—based on variousMarvel Comicsproperties and characters commonly associated withSpider-Man—in May 2017, with the title "Sony's Marvel Universe".[1]By August 2018, it was being referred to as "Sony's Universe of Marvel Characters" internally at the company.[2]In March 2019, a Sony Pictures Entertainment presentation referred to the "Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters" (SPUMC),[3]and Sony later confirmed that this was the official name for its shared universe.[4]The presentation applied the title toMarvel Studios'Spider-Manfilms and theanimatedSpider-Versefilmsas well as Sony's own live-action Marvel adaptations.[3][4]The title was widely criticized, with commentators mocking its length compared to shorter franchise names like theMarvel Cinematic Universe(MCU) andDC Extended Universe(DCEU),[5][6][7]as well as the acronym "SPUMC".[5][6]James Whitbrook ofio9questioned why the term "Spider-Verse" was not being used.[5]Columbia PicturespresidentSanford Panitchstated that Sony did not want to refer to their shared universe as the "Spider-Verse" since it encompassed many characters separate from Spider-Man.[8]Despite this, Sony announced in August 2021 that the franchise had been renamed "Sony's Spider-Man Universe" (SSU).[9]
Development
editBackground
editIn January 2010, Sony announced that theSpider-Manfilm franchisewould be rebooted after directorSam Raimidecided to no longer continue his version of the franchise.[10]By March 2012, Sony was still interested in a spin-off film they had been developing centered on the characterVenom,looking to capitalize on the release of the first reboot film,The Amazing Spider-Man(2012).[11]That June, producersAvi AradandMatt TolmachdiscussedVenomandThe Amazing Spider-Manin reference to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and how the different franchises set in that world crossed over withThe Avengers(2012). Tolmach stated, "Hopefully all these worlds will live together in peace someday."[12]In December 2013, Sony revealed plans to useThe Amazing Spider-Man 2(2014) to establish their own expanded universe based on the Marvel properties the studio had the film rights to, including Venom. Arad and Tolmach would produce the films as part of a franchise brain trust that also includedAlex Kurtzman,Roberto Orci,Jeff Pinkner,Ed Solomon,andDrew Goddard,andThe Amazing Spider-ManandThe Amazing Spider-Man 2directorMarc Webb.[13]However, afterThe Amazing Spider-Man 2underperformed and with Sony "under tremendous pressure to perform", the direction of the new shared universe was rethought.[14]
Following theNovember 2014 hacking of Sony's computers,emails betweenSony Pictures Entertainmentco-chairmanAmy Pascaland presidentDoug Belgradwere released, stating that Sony was planning to "rejuvenate" theSpider-Manfranchise by developing an animated comedy film withPhil Lord and Christopher Miller.Sony executives were set to discuss the project further in a discussion regarding severalSpider-Manspin-off films at a summit in January 2015.[15]In February 2015, Sony,Disneyand Marvel Studios announced a new partnership that would see the latter produce the next Spider-Man film for Sony, and integrate the character into theMarvel Cinematic Universe(MCU).[16]Sony still planned to produce the spin-off films without Marvel's involvement,[17][14]but these were believed to have been "scrapped" by November, with Sony instead focusing on its new reboot with Marvel.[18]Discussing the animated film during that year, Sony Pictures chairmanTom Rothmansaid it would "co-exist" with the live-action Spider-Man films, though Sony stated it would "exist independently of the projects in the live-action Spider-Man universe".[19]The animated filmSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse(2018) is set in an alternate universe from the Marvel Spider-Man reboot,[20]but introduces the comic-based concept of the "Spider-Verse"multiverse,in which different incarnations of Spider-Man can be brought together;[21]Sony was excited by the possibility of crossovers between the live-action and animated films after seeing the quality ofInto the Spider-Verse.[22]In June 2022, Lord and Miller said that Sony intended for their Spider-Man Universe and theSpider-Versefilms to connect to the MCU via themultiverse.[23]InSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse(2023), the sequel toInto the Spider-Verse,the character theSpotvisitsMrs. Chen(played byPeggy Lu,reprising her role from theVenomfilms),[24]during which Sony's Spider-Man Universe is referred to as "Earth-688".[25]
Sony's shared universe
editVenomwas revived by Sony in March 2016, envisioned as a standalone film unrelated from Sony and Marvel's newSpider-Manfilms, which would launch its own franchise and shared universe.[26][27]In May 2017, Sony confirmed thatVenomwas not considered a spin-off of any other film, and would officially begin its own shared universe.[1]Sony was looking to build out this new universe gradually rather than rush in as they had previously tried with theAmazing Spider-Manspin-offs.[28]In July, Columbia Pictures president Sanford Panitch explained that they were looking to "do what's the absolute best for each individual property. I just want to honor the original DNA." Because of this, Sony was hoping that individual filmmakers would give each film its own distinct style rather than having a single person in charge of the universe as with the MCU'sKevin Feige.The studio also wanted to avoid "conventional comic-book movies", with the intention of dealing in different genres such as horror or comedy, potential R-ratings, and even lower-than-usual budgets, depending on each project.[29]
By March 2018, Sony's executive vice president Palak Patel was overseeing all of the universe's films for the studio.[30]In July,Vultureinterviewed several creatives involved in the universe to try alleviate the fears of some fans concerning Sony's plans.Jonathan Goldstein—writer of the first MCUSpider-Manfilm,Spider-Man: Homecoming(2017)—said the future of the universe would be decided by the success ofVenom,and noted that other studios had struggled to replicate Marvel Studios' MCU success.Brian Michael Bendis,comic creator of many Marvel characters that Sony planned to add to its universe, consulted onInto the Spider-Verseand was aware of Sony's plans for its shared universe. He described them as "very cool. Fans wouldn't be annoyed with what they're doing." He added that MCU films such asIron Man(2008) andGuardians of the Galaxy(2014), which he was also involved in, were considered risks due to the lack of familiarity that general audiences had with those properties, but they both went on to be successful. He said this could also happen to lesser-known Spider-Man characters.[31]In August, Sony was confirmed to have the rights to 900 Marvel Comics characters, and Panitch explained that "Spider-Man connects to a lot of the characters. There are villains, heroes, and antiheroes, and a lot are female characters, many of whom are bona fide, fully dimensionalized, and utterly unique. We feel there's no reason the Marvel characters shouldn't be able to embrace diversity."[2]When asked whether Venom would act as the "common thread" throughout the shared universe, Sony said this was not necessarily the case as they wantedVenomto be standalone,[32][33]but saidVenomwould have "key points of intersection" with other films.[32]
Following the successful release ofVenom,Pascal said some of Sony's "previously shelved plans" could now come to fruition, including a crossover based on the villainousSinister Sixteam.[34]In March 2019, Sony Pictures Entertainment chairmanTony Vinciquerrasaid the "next seven or eight years" of the shared universe had been planned.[35]
Marvel Cinematic Universe connections
editFeige stated in June 2017 that becauseVenomwas solely a Sony project, Marvel Studios had no plans to have it crossover with the MCU.[36]However, producerAmy Pascalsoon clarified that Sony intended to have their new Marvel-based films take place in "the same world" asSpider-Man: Homecoming,describing them as "adjunct" to that world. She said thatVenomwould have connections with the next planned film in Sony's shared universe,Silver & Black,and that there was potential forTom Holland'sSpider-Manto crossover from the MCU films to the films in Sony's universe.[37]Holland was not contracted to appear outside of a trilogy ofSpider-Manfilms and several other MCU films, but Sony intended to have the actor appear in their other Marvel films eventually.[28]According to several reports, Holland spent several days duringVenom'sproduction filming a cameo appearance as Peter Parker / Spider-Man for the film,[38][39]but Marvel Studios asked Sony to exclude the scene from the final film.[40]By August 2018, Sony was actively planning to crossover Spider-Man with their own Marvel films, describing the character and Venom as "already in the same universe... we are looking forward to the two of them eventually facing off in the future".[32]Sony was also open to more of their characters appearing in MCU films in exchange for more MCU characters appearing in their own films.[2]In December,VenomwriterJeff Pinknerwas asked if that film was set in the same universe as Holland's Spider-Man films, and he said, "without revealing anything that I'm not allowed to reveal, it is not impossible that in a future/upcoming Venom movie, Spider-Man will play a significant role".[41]Pascal added, in reference to a crossover between the MCUSpider-Manfilms, Sony's own shared universe films, and Sony's animatedSpider-Versefilms, that "there's a world in which everything comes together", but Holland was restricted by his contract with Marvel Studios at that time.[34]
By August 2019, Marvel Studios andthe Walt Disney Companyhad spent several months discussing expanding their deal with Sony, with the latter looking to include more films than were originally agreed upon while keeping the same terms of the original agreement. Disney expressed concern with Feige's workload producing the non-Spider-Man MCU films already, and asked for a 25–50% stake in any future films Feige produces for Sony.[42][43][44]Unable to come to an agreement, Sony announced that it would be moving forward on the next Spider-Man film without Feige or Marvel. They acknowledged that this could change in the future, thanked Feige for his work onHomecomingandSpider-Man: Far From Home(2019), and stated that they appreciated "the path [Feige] has helped put us on, which we will continue."[43]The Hollywood Reporteradded that the end of the studios' agreement "almost certainly" meant that Holland's Spider-Man would no longer appear in MCU films, but "significantly increased" the chances of the character crossing over with the rest of Sony's own Marvel films such as theVenomfranchise and the then-in-productionMorbius(2022).[45]In September, Vinciquerra stated that "for the moment the door is closed" on Spider-Man returning to the MCU, and confirmed that the character would be integrated with Sony's own shared universe moving forward, saying "he will play off the other characters" that the studio owns the rights to. In response to backlash from fans following the announcement, Vinciquerra added that "the Marvel people are terrific people, we have great respect for them, but on the other hand we have some pretty terrific people of our own. Kevin didn't do all the work... we're pretty capable of doing what we have to do here."[46]
Following a negative fan reaction at Disney's biennialD23 Expo,and at the urging of Holland who personally spoke to Rothman and Disney CEOBob Iger,[47]Disney returned to negotiations with Sony.[48]Later that September, Sony and Disney announced a new agreement that would allow Marvel Studios and Feige to produce a third MCU Spider-Man film for Sony.[49]Disney was reported to be co-financing 25% of the film in exchange for 25% of the film's profits, while retaining the merchandising rights to the character.[49][48]The agreement also allowed Holland's Spider-Man to appear in a future Marvel Studios film, while Feige stated that moving forward the MCU's Spider-Man would be able to "cross cinematic universes" and appear in Sony's own shared universe as well.[49]This interaction was said to be a"'call and answer' between the two franchises as they acknowledge details between the two in what would loosely be described as a shared detailed universe ". Sony described their previous films with Marvel Studios as a" great collaboration ", and said" our mutual desire to continue was equal to that of the many fans. "[48]Panitch acknowledged in May 2021 that there had been confusion and frustration from fans regarding the relationship between the two universes, but said there was a plan to clarify this and he believed it was already "getting a little more clear for people [as to] where we're headed" at that time. He added that the release ofSpider-Man: No Way Home(2021) would reveal more of this plan.[8]
InNo Way Home,Doctor Strangecasts two spells: one that brings characters from other universes into the MCU, and one that sends them back to their own universes. Themid-credits sceneofVenom: Let There Be Carnage(2021) shows Venom being transported into the MCU from his universe by the first spell, and the mid-credits scene ofNo Way Homeshows Venom being transported back to his own universe by the second spell. A small part of the Venom symbiote is left in the MCU.[50]Feige said there was significant coordination between theLet There Be CarnageandNo Way Hometeams to create the two scenes,[51]withNo Way HomedirectorJon Wattsdirecting both scenes during production of that film.[52]In the mid-credits scenes ofMorbius,taking place simultaneously with the events ofNo Way Home,Adrian Toomes / Vultureis revealed to have been transported to the SSU by the same spell, meeting withMorbiusin an effort to form a team.[53]In June 2022, Lord and Miller said that Sony intended for Sony's Spider-Man Universe and theSpider-Versefilms to connect to the MCU via themultiverse.[23]
Expansion to television
editVinciquerra stated in March 2019 that the universe would be expanding to television with a set of Marvel projects developed specifically bySony Pictures Television.At the time, the studio was "essentially internally auditioning" characters from the 900 it could access to decide which medium they would appear in, with Sony Pictures Television chairman Mike Hopkins describing their progress in selecting characters for television as "pretty far down the road". Hopkins elaborated that Sony planned to have several series set in the shared universe that could "pollinate between each other", and that they would be released by a yet-to-be-determined network partner. An announcement of this partner was expected within the next few months, with the networks owned by Marvel's parent Disney—including their new streaming serviceDisney+—being considered alongside others. These television plans were attributed to the success ofVenomandInto the Spider-Verse,which "bolstered confidence that there's an appetite for Sony's slice of Marvel".[35]
After their work onInto the Spider-Verse,Lord and Miller signed an overall deal with Sony Pictures Television in April 2019 to develop several television series for the studio, including their Marvel-based series, which could potentially include characters fromInto the Spider-Verseas well as live-action properties. Select projects would be produced in conjunction with Pascal.[54]Discussing these series in August, Miller could not update where or when the series would be released but said there would be several live-action series and they would each be a unique experience with connections to the others.[55]The next month, Vinciquerra said there were five or six individual series in development for the universe.[46]By January 2020, one of these series was believed to be a version ofSilver & Blackafter development on that film was canceled in August 2018.[56][2]Gina Prince-Bythewood,who co-wrote and was going to direct the film version before it was canceled, confirmed in April 2020 thatSilver & Blackwas being re-developed for television. She suggested that it could be a limited series, and had the potential to be released on Disney+.[57]That June, formerMarvel Televisionand Marvel Studios television executiveKarim Zreikwas made head of television for Lord and Miller, putting him in charge of all their planned series including the Marvel-based ones. The latter were described as a priority for Sony Pictures Television, and Zreik's experience with previous Marvel television series made him a "suitable partner" for planning them.[58]
By September 2020, Sony was in talks withAmazon Prime Videofor the latter to be the streaming distributor for Sony's "suite" of Marvel-based television series, similar toMarvel Television's group of seriesthat streamed onNetflix.The negotiations with Amazon were said to be complex, with "major issues that need to be resolved" due to the complicated distribution rights for the various characters. The series were expected to be released on a traditional television platform before moving to streaming. By then, the first series intended to be part of this deal was one focused on the characterSilk,who had been identified as a good candidate for a series after a film was previously being developed.[59]Amazon was confirmed at the end of April 2021 to have the rights to stream the upcoming series on Prime Video.[60]In November 2022, the series were set to debut on the television networkMGM+before streaming on Prime Video. The Silk series was titledSilk: Spider Societywhen it was being re-developed,[61]while a series centered on the characterSpider-Man Noirwas revealed to be in development in February 2023 for Amazon.[62]
Thewriters' roomsforSilk: Spider Societyand the Spider-Man Noir series were shut down when theWriters Guild of America(WGA)went on strike in May 2023.[63]After the strike ended in late September,Amazon Studiosdelayed re-opening the writers' room forSpider Societyso executives could re-evaluate the series and its already written scripts,[64][65]and that series was placed on hold by late November.[66][67]Because of this, staff writers were still contractually obligated to the series without pay but were unable to pursue other opportunities at that time.[66][67]The WGA threatened to take legal action against Amazon Studios in response.[66][67]The Anklerreported it was unclear if the continued suspension of production was related to the strike or other production issues.[66]The following month, the writers' room was set to resume work in January 2024, which had the potential to change depending on the script evaluation.[65][67]In February,The Anklerfurther reported that, after work resumed for a few weeks, the series had paused the writers' room and let go several of its members to pursue other opportunities, except for Kang and one of the series' co-executive producers.[68]
Amazon was no longer moving forward withSilk: Spider Societyby May 2024, when they instead chose to first proceed with greenlighting the Spider-Man Noir series, titledSpider-Noir,[64][69][70]withNicolas Cagereprising his role as the character fromInto the Spider-Verse.[69]Amazon returned the rights toSpider Societyto Sony so that the studio could shop it to other potential networks.[64]Amazon remained committed to their Marvel series with Sony, while Kang retained her overall deal with Amazon and was set to continue working on other projects for their studio.[64]The Hollywood Reporternoted it was unclear if Sony could shop the series to Disney, which had previously releasedseveral Marvel-based television series.[71]Sony was not expected to renew its deal with Lord and Miller by August 2024 after the duo disagreed with the studio over the budget forSpider-Noir.[72]
